Taviras's apartment is a little gem. It is spacious and thoughtfully furnished in a chic way. The kitchen benefits from a 4-ring halogen hob [a rarity in Bangkok] and a useful amount of worktop space. The bathroom is a comfortable size with a really great walk-in shower: hot and powerful. The bedroom is again a good size and nicely furnished. That said, a little more usuable cupboard/storage space would be useful for somewhat longer stays. The living area is very comfortable with a great TV, sound system and relatively fast internet access. Sadly, for such a cool place it does lack cable TV channels. That said, Taviras does provide Netflix, which is a great addition. The rooftop pool is perfect if you wish to actually swim [laps] or just relax. Ekkamai BTS and Gateway Mall are about an 8 minute walk away; although this can be halved by taking a motorbike taxi at the end of the street. 7/11 is just a 5 minute walk away and there's a great little smoothie bar opposite the motorbike taxi rank. But above all, the best thing about this place is the host. Taviras is quite simply the best host I've had. His communication is excellent and timely, if not immediate. I’m sure Taviras won’t mind me saying that there were a couple of small issues during my stay. However, he not only resolved these but greatly improved them and did so as fast as humanly possible. But most of all, he’s just a great guy that genuinely wants you to enjoy staying at his place. I cannot recommend Taviras as a host, or this little gem to stay at, highly enough.
